Oh goodness, weddingwire. Where to begin? It's been a little while since I've been super active, was taking a break to recoup and get my mental health in check with all the virus stuff going around. But I wanted to come back and THANK all of you who were SO helpful with all your advice and share my favoritest day!!)


We postponed until August 1st, but had a small intimate ceremony on May 23rd, our original date. It's been almost a month since my life became a fairy tale and I married the man of my dreams!! We only have three professional pictures back, which I'll post, but I'll also include some of my favorite non-pro pictures.
Honestly guys? 10000% so glad we had a small ceremony first. Would do it this way again and again and again. There was so much less pressure and I just got to be in love with my guy and eat delicious food.

This might get a little long, if you're bored, feel free to scroll to see some pretty pictures Smiley smile

//The virus changed everything. This isn't even the dress I was supposed to wear! My original dress needs a lot of alterations and I had to find a new one on David's Bridal and have ZERO alterations done, which I figured out barely a week and a half before the wedding. There was telling all the guests they wouldn't be able to be there. There was completely changing the reception. There was only having some of the wedding party, and having to make the tough call on who would be there and who wouldn't (going down from 220 guests to 25... yikes). There were just so many things that had to get rearranged and replaced and re-thought of and lordy, it was a mess but I would do it all again.

The only real hiccup was... my darn slip! It started falling as I walked down the slope to the deck, and I had to kick as I walked to keep from falling on my face Smiley xd . Rest assured I made it down in one piece, and that's what matters, right?

I'll DEFINITELY be posting all the professional photos when I get them back. But I just got TOO EXCITED to share!!! So happy y'all!!!!


My favorite pro photo out of the three we got!

Yes he's crying in this photo--he cried the entire ceremony and I still find it so incredibly endearing

    Thank you so much Brittany! It was definitely crazy (especially since we decided to move both our apartments into a new apartment 3 weeks before the wedding so there was a LOT going on leading up to our day). It was all soo worth it, though. I'm so incredibly psyched that we're finally married!!

    Thank you sooooo much Anna!! His parents were so nice, they basically rebuilt the entire side of the mountain for us. It was insane Smiley xd I feel so very lucky to have had a day like that one.

    Yes, he's such a softy, I love it. I'm usually the unemotional one that never cries but seeing him even had me with a tear or two!

    Haha, thanks Elle! Once I finished getting ready that day, I realized that I like that dress better than the original dress honestly Smiley xd Gonna wear dress #1 for the new date, but I am actually super grateful that plans had to change and I ended up with this one. The sleeves are my favorite Smiley love There's something about being a bride that makes every woman beautiful. I'm sure you are going to look S T U N N I N G on your special day!! Smiley heart
